Lots of work later...


This rear quarter was a bit rough so needed a bit of work


Final shaping to be done on front.


Not mushroom

Here's a couple outer pics Iain. I'll see what I can find for inside

[Iain]

It's all E46. Pedals, brackets, booster etc. It's cut into the strut tower a little, but only because the strut is moved outwards for the increased track for the E46 suspension. (So the spring isn't in the way)

There is a guy up north I know who has done it with the E30 pedals and bracket etc. Give us a while and I'll see if I can find some pics.

Need pics of bum and wood chucks? Fuckin heeeaaaps bro.

Sweet, thanks mate. Will pm photos of wood chuck bums too ;)

Many awesomes can be found in this thread. Many.

Do you have more pics/details of how you installed the booster there? Its the E46 booster, ja? Stock pedals? How did you hook it all up? Will that booster make my bum look big? How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Those flares are looking good and huge props for doing all of this!

[dirtysix]

Yup.
Here it is with colour, although it's not so flash.

[archie]

Dirty,did you draw this?

[e30m3power]

Very nice!

[s_ribs]

Well, this is exactly what I didn't expect to see when clicking this thread.

Wicked good job! Craftsmanship is fantastic, love this type of project.

[ZM Blue Devil]

Awesome. Move to Norway you belong there.

So, for anyone who gives a sh*t, this is how the flares are created.

The std flare is cut off and the inner and outer skins are welded to each other.





This is the flare transferred to steel from the mdf template.


A length of 4mm wire is then welded to the inside edge. It has to be one piece and you need to be carefull as you bend it to shape.
It forms an even curve and reinforces the edge of the flare.


It must be fully welded before it's put back on the car.
This is the back.


You can see the holes transferred from the template too.


So you can fix it to the car and begin welding.


Massage it a little to make it nice


After welding and starting to clean it up


Right, way ya go.
I expect to see flares on all your cars by this time tomorrow.

Ollie perfected the airbox last night ... am going to bash out another cardboard mockup model just to make 100% its all good, but looked nice and snug.
will check your intake port diameter and adjust to suit.

Am looking into carbon fiber too once the metal one is complete.
